Merging of graphs

Abstract

A computer-implemented method including provision of at least two subgraphs, merging the at least two subgraphs to form a complete graph on the basis of at least one merging rule, wherein, when merging the at least two subgraphs on the basis of the at least one merging rule, a version of the merging rule is stored.

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 providing at least two subgraphs; and   merging the at least two subgraphs to form a complete graph on a basis of at least one merging rule;   wherein when merging the at least two subgraphs on the basis of the at least one merging rule, a version of the at least one merging rule is stored.   
     
     
         2 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein providing the at least two subgraphs comprises preparing raw data. 
     
     
         3 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein providing the at least two subgraphs comprises authorization of an access to the at least two subgraphs. 
     
     
         4 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 3 , wherein authorization of an access comprises using a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). 
     
     
         5 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein providing the at least two subgraphs comprises providing the at least two subgraphs to an authenticated user. 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein providing the at least two subgraphs comprises providing the at least two subgraphs as stateless REST Web Service methods with JSON-LD. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the complete graph is stored in a semantic database. 
     
     
         8 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one merging rule is provided by a dedicated automatic rule system. 
     
     
         9 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein
 preparing raw data comprises a creation of a semantic description of the raw data.   
     
     
         10 . A non-transitory computer implemented storage medium that stores machine-readable instructions executable by at least one processor, the machine-readable instructions comprising:
 providing at least two subgraphs; and   merging the at least two subgraphs to form a complete graph on a basis of at least one merging rule;   wherein when merging the at least two subgraphs on the basis of the at least one merging rule, a version of the at least one merging rule is stored.   
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer implemented storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein providing the at least two subgraphs comprises preparing raw data. 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer implemented storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein providing the at least two subgraphs comprises authorization of an access to the at least two subgraphs. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer implemented storage medium of  claim 12 , wherein authorization of an access comprises using a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer implemented storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein providing the at least two subgraphs comprises providing the at least two subgraphs to an authenticated user. 
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer implemented storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein providing the at least two subgraphs comprises providing the at least two subgraphs as stateless REST Web Service methods with JSON-LD. 
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer implemented storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein the complete graph is stored in a semantic database. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer implemented storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one merging rule is provided by a dedicated automatic rule system. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer implemented storage medium of  claim 11 , wherein
 preparing raw data comprises a creation of a semantic description of the raw data.
